In some instances the media have become jaded. They are so used to
sleazy behaviour by politicians that they tend to under-react. Some buy

other governments have done these kinds of things, so we can do them
too.

are just process stories that voters don’t care about. Watergate, you
might say, was just process too, a slaying of the process.
